While student at Montana State University researched smart
sensor networks, ad-hoc communication for robots, fuzzy
logic sensor fusion, and robots in education.
Automated the teleoperated "Tank/2" robotic platform.
Designed a Smart Sensor Networking Module and SensorBus
Small RTOS to interface various sensors and perform
preprocessing on a Linux OS pc based robot.
Designed the Montana State University ECE Rover, a small
inexpensive robot platform that can be used in education.
Original design had sensor modules to illustrate a concept
in one lab session to students. Robot pcb is compatible
with processors that can be programmed in Basic, Java,
C/C++, and Motorola 68hc12 assembly. This means that the
robot is accessible from high school students and Boy Scouts
to college master's students.
